Swallows in treetop

I took these with my new NIKON COOLPIX P9000 camera. All taken from the same position and not cropped. Handhold and a bit windy. So, a bit tricky. The camera works fine but you can´t use it for fast shots. The tree in the second image is European larch.The bird is Barn swallow. They landed in the trees furthest away in the image. Some of them are still here but will soon go south again.

Ahhh ... a new camera and a more manageable size I think. These are great shots and amazing that the swallows sat still long enough to be photographed. So tell me about your new camera ... I have what I think is the Cannon equivalent ... I say that because mine can't be used for fast shots either ... frustrating at times. But you must try a moon shot. That is what sold me on mine. I could take the moon and see the craters ... whoo hoo. You are on a roll ... new computer, new camera ... life is good :)
